본 논문에서는 텍스트 영상에 대한 데이터 천이 최소화를 위한 새로운 데이터 코딩기법과 회로를 제안한다. 제안한 회로는 기존의 Modified LVDS(Low Voltage Differential Signaling)의 문제점인 입력되는 데이터간의 동기와 출력되는 데이터간의 동기 문제를 수정한 개선된 MLVDS 회로와 Text image에 대한 천이 최소화를 위한 추가적인 직렬 데이터 코딩 기법인 TMUX 알고리즘으로 한 클럭에 2비트의 신호를 동시에 전송하여 동작 주파수를 줄일 수 있으며, 전자파 장애와 전력 소비를 해결할 수 있다. 시뮬레이션 결과를 통해서 텍스트 영상 데이터 천이 최소화 향상과 입출력간의 동기문제를 보완되었음을 확인하였다.

The problem of blocking artifacts is very common in block-based image and video compression, especially at very low bit rates. In this paper, we propose a post-processing method for JPEG-coded image deblocking via sparse representation and adaptive residual threshold. This method includes three steps. First, we obtain the dictionary by online dictionary learning and the compressed images. The dictionary is then modified by the histogram of oriented gradient (HOG) feature descriptor and K-means cluster. Second, an adaptive residual threshold for orthogonal matching pursuit (OMP) is proposed and used for sparse coding by combining blind image blocking assessment. At last, to take advantage of human visual system (HVS), the edge regions of the obtained deblocked image can be further modified by the edge regions of the compressed image. The experimental results show that our proposed method can keep the image more texture and edge information while reducing the image blocking artifacts.

We developed a compact gamma camera based on a modified uniformly redundant array coded aperture to investigate the position of a $UO_2$ pellet emitting characteristic X-rays (98.4 keV) and ${\gamma}-rays$ (185.7 keV). Experiments using an only-mask method and an antimask subtractive method were conducted, and the maximum-likelihood expectation maximization algorithm was used for image reconstruction. The images obtained via the antimask subtractive method were compared with those obtained using the only-mask method with regard to the signal-to-noise ratio. The reconstructed images of the antimask subtractive method were superior. The reconstructed images of the characteristic X-rays and the ${\gamma}-rays$ were combined with the obtained image using the optical camera. The combined images showed the precise position of the $UO_2$ pellet. According to the self-absorption ratios of the nuclear material and the minimum number of effective events for image reconstruction, we estimated the minimum detection time depending on the amount of nuclear material.

This paper proposes a compression scheme based on the modified reversible integer transform (MRIT) and forward adaptive prediction for lossless image compression. JPEG XR is the newest image coding standard with high compression ratio and that composed of the Photo Core Transform (PCT) and backward adaptive prediction. To improve the efficiency and quality of compression, we substitutes the PCT and backward adaptive prediction for the modified reversible integer transform (MRIT) and forward adaptive prediction, respectively. Experimental results indicate that the proposed method are superior to the previous method of JPEG XR in terms of lossless compression efficiency and computational complexity.

본 논문은 수정된 이방성 확산 펄터를 이용한 영상 개선 방법을 제안하였다. 이를 위하여 최소 신뢰 스케일을 기반으로 하는 센서 잡음 추정과 스케일 스페이스 방법을 도입하였다. 이때 이방성 필터는 구해진 임계값 함수와 국부 기울기에 의해 수정되었다. 모의 실험을 통해 제안한 방법이 평탄 영역에서의 잡음을 거의 증폭시키지 않으면서도 뛰어난 에지 향상을 보임을 증명할 수 있었다.

Outlier detection and removal is a crucial step needed for various image processing applications such as image registration. Random Sample Consensus (RANSAC) is known to be the best algorithm so far for the outlier detection and removal. However RANSAC requires a cosiderable computation time. To drastically reduce the computation time while preserving the comparable quality, a outlier detection and removal method based on modified K-means is proposed. The original K-means was conducted first for matching point pairs and then cluster merging and member exclusion step are performed in the modification step. We applied the methods to various images with highly repetitive patterns under several geometric distortions and obtained successful results. We compared the proposed method with RANSAC and showed that the proposed method runs 3~10 times faster than RANSAC.

Noise is regarded as an unwanted component of the image because it significantly reduces image quality. And image is often corrupted by mixed noise. In this paper an efficient modified weighted filter algorithm which combines spatial weight and intensity weight is proposed for removing mixed noise. In the proposed method, the filtering mask is separated into the four sub-windows and the parameters of the weights are confirmed by calculating local standard deviation and the mean of four sub-windows' standard deviations. Considering the spatial information and intensity information, the proposed method has good performance on not only noise elimination but also preservation of details. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method performs better than conventional algorithms.

In this paper the intent recognition system which recognizes the human's head movements as a simple non-verbal intent representation is presented. The system recognizes five basic intent representations. i.e., strong/weak affirmation. strong/weak negation, and ambiguity by image processing of nodding or shaking movements of head. The vision system for tracking the head movements is composed of CCD camera, image processing board and personal computer. The modified template matching method which replaces the reference image with the searched target image in the previous step is used for the robust tracking of the head movements. For the improvement of the processing speed, the searching is performed in the pyramid representation of the original image. By inspecting the variance of the head movement trajectories. we can recognizes the two basic intent representations - affirmation and negation. Also, by focusing the speed of the head movements, we can see the possibility which recognizes the strength of the intent representation.

A computer-vision based pipe-inspection algorithm is developed. The algorithm uses the modified Hough transformation and a line-scanning approach to identify the edge line and the radius of the pipe image, from which the eccentricity and dimension of the pipe-end is calculated. Line and circle detection was performed using Laplace operator with input image, which are acquired from the front and side cameras. In order to minimize the memory usage and the processing time, a clustering method with the modified Hough transformation is introduced for line detection. The dimension of inner and outer radius of pipe is calculated by the proposed line-scanning method. The method scans several lines along the X and Y axes, calculating the eccentricity of inner and outer circle, by which pipes with wrong end-shape can be classified and removed.

사회가 고도의 디지털 정보화 시대로 발전함에 따라 영상복원 등 디지털 영상처리 기술분야에 관한 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 임펄스 잡음에 훼손된 영상을 복원하는데 대표적인 방법은 SM(Standard Median) 필터가 있지만, SM 필터는 에지영역에서 오류를 나타내어 영상의 품질을 저하시킨다. 본 논문에서는 임펄스 잡음환경에서 훼손된 영상을 복원하기 위해 화소를 중심으로 하여 이중 마스크를 취하는 변형된 메디안 필터 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 이중 마스크를 취함에 따라 제안한 방법은 우수한 잡음제거 및 에지보존 특성을 나타내었고 영상의 화질을 개선하였다.
